I graduated with a degree in Elementary Education at University of South Florida. I am working towards a masters degree as a Reading Specialist at Granite State College. I have been teaching for 18 years. My first job was teaching at a Title One school in Florida.  I taught first grade, 5th grade, 2nd grade, and STEM Lab. My husband and I returned to his hometown, Pittsburg and I found a job at his former school. I now work between two schools as the Project Director.
